What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
These two teams are on the cusp of that top four spot in the IPL 2024 points table. On the one hand are the batting giants Hyderabad, who are currently fourth on the table with 12 points while not too behind them are Lucknow, also with 12 points but with a lesser NRR.
Both teams have played 11 games, as have Chennai Super Kings who are on the third spot, also with 12.
Quick SRH vs LSG Preview
Both these teams had a good chance to take that one step forward in their battle for the playoffs berth. They were on 12 points from 10 games while their nearest rival CSK had 10 from 10.
What happened in those last three games would have shaken the confidence of both these teams.
For one, Lucknow suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders, a loss that not only dented their chances with regards to the points but also thanks to the net run-rate issue. They have now slipped to -0.371 thanks to that 98-run defeat.
On the other hand, Hyderabad were facing up to the struggling Mumbai Indians and they were also batting first – something they love doing.
And yet, they scraped through to 173/8 thanks to a late spurt from Pat Cummins and then saw them getting pumelled by a Suryakumar Kumar century. Again, a loss with 16 balls to spare has caused their NRR to take a tumble.
What all of this means is that the winner of this game will go to the third spot but more importantly, the loser will not only have to hope for CSK to lose their remaining games but also do that with ample to spare.
